Baggage

To ensure smooth and reliable processing, airlines ask passengers to appreciate that the weight limits for baggage must be strictly observed. There are no international standards regarding the size and dimensions of hand luggage, which can vary depending on the airline, class and route.

Baggage allowance

Details regarding the baggage allowance can be found on your ticket, or else you can ask the airline.

Oversize baggage and animals

Oversize baggage (e.g. surfboards, musical instruments, bicycles, trunks) and animals are accepted, but you should ask the airline about the costs involved. Oversize baggage and animals must be checked in at the oversize baggage counter. Please enquire at the check-in as to how to proceed. Cats and small animals may be transported in your hand luggage. Please enquire in good time with your airline and note the veterinary and legal provisions.

Hand luggage

You may take only one piece of hand luggage with you on board. As there are no international standards regarding the size and dimensions of hand luggage, you should enquire with the airline you are flying with.

To guarantee the highest possible security standards,special security regulations for hand luggagehave been in force since November 2006 for all flights from the EU, Norway, Switzerland and Iceland. These regulations do not apply to purchases made at the airport as they are controlled items.
